Caller ID (CallKit Support) You can now use the Boxer to identify incoming calls without exporting your Boxer contacts to native contacts app. This

provides better security and separation between your corporate contacts and personal contacts. Caller ID functionality

using CallKit is only valid for incoming calls, outgoing calls, and call history. CallKit does not support integration with the

iOS Messages app and traditional car Bluetooth systems. Your incoming texts and incoming calls are not identified when

using traditional car systems. Caller ID functionality using CallKit is supported only on 64-bit devices running iOS 10 and

above.

To enable CallKit support for Boxer:

1. Navigate to Settings > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification.

2. Select Boxer and tap the toggle button to enable CallKit support. CallKit support is enabled and your incoming

calls and messages are identified using Boxer contacts.
